Simon King is the borough president of Bronx, an energetic man in his early 50s. He is a somewhat controversial figure.The position is largely ceremonial, and as a PR person for his borough, King has been quite successful. He attends and hosts various events to attract new business to the borough and sponsors artists and exhibitions. On the other hand, "The King of Bronx" is something of a playboy with an extravagant lifestyle. He has also been accused of accepting "gifts" from corporations to use his influence on their behalf. Twice he has been investigated for corruption, although nothing was found in either investigation. He is currently advocating an expansion of one of the truck terminals. While it would bring new jobs, expansion would require pulling down several buildings of low-income housing, so the plan has drawn both praise and protest. | Simon King is the borough president of Bronx, an energetic man in his early 50s.
